Yes, see sub meta_information in latex2html.config .
It is called from &make_head_and_body within the latex2html script as:
&meta_information($title);
where $title contains a cleaned-up version of the document-title,
(e.g. any HTML tags have been removed from the title)
or the result of
&custom_title_hook($title, $toc_sec_title);
if such a custom_title_hook is defined.
You can modify &meta_information directly, if this is sufficient
for your needs.
Alternatively, if the required META-information is dependent on information
that is known only while processing the document, then ...
...there is as yet no \htmlmeta command within in html.sty,
since I don't know what a good syntax would be, for this.
Something like:
\htmlmeta[<attribute>]{<value>}
is an obvious candidate; but there may be some better alternative.
e.g.
\htmlmeta[<scope>]{<attribute>}{<value>}
where <scope> is used to distinguish between META-info that is intended
for all HTML pages, or just a single page.
However it isn't very difficult to define one.
Implementing it in Perl, with touching the latex2html script,
would involve a 3-step process:
1. modify &meta_information to include an extra marker:
e.g. $meta_marker = '<tex2html_meta_mark>';
2. define a subroutine called &post_post_process
--- there is already a hook to call this, after all other
processing has been completed.
It should replace the above $meta_marker by the contents
of some variables, say $META_INFO_LOCAL and $META_INFO_GLOBAL ,
then set $META_INFO_LOCAL = '';
so it won't be reused on the next page.
3. ...whose contents are appended-to by the implementation of \htmlmeta :
sub do_cmd_htmlmeta {
local($_) = @_;
... read the arguments ...
... construct the META-tag for the provided information ...
$META_INFO_LOCAL .= .... this META-tag ...
or $META_INFO_GLOBAL .= .... this META-tag ...
$_ ;
}
Oh, and don't forget...
4. only use \htmlmeta within \begin{htmlonly} ... \end{htmlonly}
else implement a gobbling routine for LaTeX ...
%begin{latexonly}
\newcommand{\htmlmeta}[...][]{}
%end{latexonly}
Hope this helps.
